The edge descriptor proposed by MPEG-7 standard is a representative approach for the contents-based image retrieval using the edge information. In the edge descriptor, the edge information is the edge histogram derived from a gray-level value image. This paper proposes a new method which extracts color edge information from color images and a new approach for the contents-based image retrieval based on the color edge histogram. The poposed method and technique are applied to image retrieval of the e-catalogue. For the evaluation, the results of image retrieval using the proposed approach are compared with those of image retrieval using the edge descriptor by MPEG-7 and the statistics shows the efficiency of the proposed method. The proposed color edge model is made by combining the R,G,B channel components vectorially and by characterizing the vector norm of the edge map. The color edge histogram using the direction of the color edge model is subsequently used for the contents-based image retrieval.

An increasing in quantity of multimedia data brought a new problem that expected data should be retrieved fast and exactly. The adequate representation is a key element for the efficient retrieval. For this reason, MPEG-7 standard was established for description of multimedia data in 2001. However, the content of the standard is massive and the approach method is not clear for real application system yet, because of properties of MPEG-7 standard that has to include a lot of potential cases. In this paper, we suggested implementation scheme of retrieval system with using of only visual descriptors and presented the performance results of developed system. From the result of developed system, MPEG-7 VIRS (Video/Image Retrieval System), we analyzed the retrieval results between using individual descriptor and using multiple descriptors, and showed a layout for real application system.

We propose a content based watermarking technique in multimedia management system. In the proposed technique, a content description technique of MPEG-7 for the multimedia database is adopted into a watermarking technique. With multimedia features described by MPEG-7 standard, we propose a novel watermarking technique where MPEG-7 descriptors are regarded as perceptually significant portions. The watermark is embedded in cooperating with multimedia features such as MPEG-7 descriptor. To verify the feasibility and performance of proposed watermarking technique, experiments with the MPEG-7 database are performed.

This paper proposes an effective similarity measure for content-based image retrieval using MPEG-7 DCD. The proposed method can measure the similarity of images with the percentage of dominant colors extracted from images. As the result of experiments, we achieved a significant improvement of 18.92% with global DCD and 47.22% with local DCD in ANMRR than the result by QHDM. This result shows that the proposed method is an effective similarity measure for content-based image retrieval. Especially, our method is useful for region-based image retrieval.

We developed a XMAS (X Multimedia Analysis System) for analyzing the illegal and objectionable multimedia in Internet environment based on Web2.0. XMAS uses the MPEG-7 visual descriptor and multi-class SVM (support vector machine) and its performance (accuracy on precision) is about 91.6% for objectionable multimedia analysis and 99.9% for illegal movie retrieval.

본 논문은 물체 검출(Object Detection)과 물체영역분할(Object Segmentation)의 CNN 추론 결과를 MPEG-7 서술자 이진화를 통해 표현함으로써 원본과의 용량을 비교한다. 영상의 사용 목적에 따라 CNN 추론 결과를 압축하여 활용할 시 원본 영상 대비 용량을 측정하여 그 효율성을 판단하는 것이 목표이다. 물체 검출과 물체영역분할에 대한 추론 결과를 MPEG-7 서술자를 이용해 압축하였으며, 비교를 위해 원본 영상, CNN 추론 결과 파일, MPEG-7 서술자, MPEG-7 서술자 이진화 파일의 크기를 측정하였다. 실험 결과, MPEG-7 서술자를 이진화를 통한 표현 방식이 원본 영상 및 추론 결과 파일에 비해 효율적임을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we show the weakness of the image matching method by using MPEG-7 EHD(Edge Histogram Descriptor) and suggest how to improve this weakness by using image normalization. EHD algorithm is an image matching technique that collects edge's slope of distribution and same distribution. However, the EHD error rate is high because EHD is sensitive for changes of object distortion and rotation that will be matched. We improve matching performance by accurately extract edge information in image by using normalization. We compare and analyze the normalized EHD algorithm by using distortion and rotation and it shows robustness for changes of the size and rotation.

In content-based image retrieval, the query is an image itself and the retrieval process is the process that seeking the similar images to the given query image. In this way of retrieval, the user has to know the basic physical features of target images that he wants to retrieve. But it has some restriction because to retrieve the target image he has to know the basic physical feature space such as color, texture, shape and spatial relationship. In this paper, we propose an emotion-based retrieval system. It uses the emotion that color images have. It is different from past emotion-based image retrieval in point of view that it uses relevance feedback to estimate the users intend and it is easily combined with past content-based image retrieval system. To test the performance of our proposed system, we use MPEG-7 color descriptor and emotion language such as "warm", "clean", "bright" and "delight" We test about 1500 wallpaper images and get successful result.lpaper images and get successful result.

In this paper, to improve the retrieval Performance, an efficient combination of the MPEG-7 visual descriptors, such as the edge histogram descriptor (EHD), the color layout descriptor (CLD), and the homogeneous texture descriptor (HTD), is proposed in the framework of the relevance feedback approach. The EHD represents spatial distribution of edges in local image regions and it is considered as an important feature to represent the content of the image. The CLD specifies spatial distribution of colors and is widely used in image retrieval due to its simplicity and fast operation speed. The HTD describes precise statistical distribution of the image texture. Both the feature vector for the query image and the weighting factors among the combined descriptors are adaptively determined during the relevance feedback. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the retrieval performance significantly tot natural images.
